About

I’m Erica Hughes and I run Nine to Three Thirty.I’m a blogger based in Birmingham in the West Midlands and most of what I write is about our family life experiences. Nine to Three Thirty also focuses on topics that interest or concern parents of school age children. This includes all elements of family life and not just their education. I aim to provide a mix of articles based on personal experience, journalistic research and product/services reviews. We like to try out new products and services or review visitor attractions.

The name of Nine to Three Thirty was chosen as it reflects the most common times of the UK school day: 9-3.30 and my life is geared around those times most of the year round. In fact, part of the reason I became a full-time blogger was to be flexible enough to do school pickups and cover holidays.

Nine to Three Thirty has a growing audience that interacts regularly on articles. Backing up Nine to Three Thirty is a large social media following numbering tens of thousands over various networks with Instagram and Twitter being particular strengths.
